STANDARD FEATURES
Vertical sliding doors are constructed of tinted, tempered
glass with stainless-steel trim to allow the operator to view the
chamber with the doors closed. While the cycle is in progress,
glass doors remain cool to the touch. Doors are pneumatically
activated with a built-in safety system.
Sliding doors create an airtight seal and are configured for
power door operation.
• Power doors are opened and closed automatically using
touch pads located on the control panel. If a power failure
occurs, doors can be opened manually. A door interlock
feature is provided to prevent cross-contamination.
Stainless-steel pump is powered by a dual-speed motor. High
pump speed provides the equivalent capacity of a 7.5 hp
(5.6 kW) motor, 240 U.S. gal./min at 70 ft (910 L/min at 21.3 m)
head pressure. Low pump speed provides the equivalent
capacity of a 2.0 HP (1.5 kW) motor, 90 U.S. gal/min at 25 ft
(341 L/min at 7.6 m) head pressure. Pump impeller is mounted
directly on the motor shaft and does not require additional
bearings. Pump motor is equipped with a drip-proof frame,
magnetic starter, overload protection and sealed bearings (not
requiring periodic lubrication).
Pump, spray system and all recirculating piping are of
stainless-steel construction.
Single removable stainless-steel filter in the chamber sump
prevents debris from entering the pump.
Heating coil (steam or electric) at the bottom of the wash
chamber (sump) raises and maintains water temperature up
to 180°F (82°C) during the Wash phase and up to 203°F (95°C)
during the Thermal Rinse phase.
Rotary spray assemblies are positioned (one at top and one
at bottom of chamber, each measuring 24-3/8" [620 mm] long)
to reach all surfaces of the load. Every manifold used with the
Reliance Synergy Washer/Disinfector has bi-directional rotary
arms positioned on the top and bottom of each load shelf.
Depending on the type of rack accessory in the chamber, the
manifold connector automatically connects to the accessory
at the start of each cycle.
16-W fluorescent lamp, mounted within an explosion/vapor-
proof enclosure, illuminates the chamber interior.
Wash chamber is constructed of 16-gauge, #304 L stainless
steel (No. 4 finish), argon-welded; wash chamber is of sanitary-
type design for complete drainability. All horizontal fixed
surfaces are sloped, overlapping metal sheets are minimized
to reduce hard-to-clean locations, and there are no dead legs
of more than six times the pipe diameter. A complete drain
water sensor detects the presence of water in the piping.
Double-walled, insulated construction of chamber exterior
reduces heat loss and noise level to the work area.
Chemical injection pumps. The system comes with one
enzyme and one detergent injection pump which automatically
add a selected quantity of chemical from 1/8 to 2.0 oz/gal (1.0
to 16 mL/L). Up to two additional chemical pumps give flexibility
to wash with a neutral process, dual alkaline/neutralizer
process, or to vary the chemical used, depending upon the load.
One injection pump is also provided to automatically add a
selected quantity of lubricant (from 0 to 2 oz/gal
[0 to 16 mL/L]) during the Thermal Rinse phase.
If desired, up to two additional chemical injection pumps can
be installed on the washer/disinfector. Optional injection
pump(s) can be ordered alone and/or with the Fast Cycles for
Instruments and Utensils option.
A low-level sensor is included to indicate when the detergent
level in the container is low, or when insufficient chemical is
available for the next cycle.

Pulsed enzyme treatment, following the Pre-Wash phase, is
proceeded with hot tap water. The pulsed enzyme is a
sequence of soaking and recirculation of hot water with
enzyme. The enzyme is automatically injected at a preset
quantity of 1.0 oz/gal (8.0 mL/L), but can be manually adjusted
between 1/8 and 2.0 oz/gal (1.0 and 16 mL/L).
Drying system is manifolded and circulates HEPA (High
Efficiency Particulate Air) filtered air through piping,
accessories and chamber. Includes a 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) blower
at 60 Hz. Three electric heaters totalling 10.1 HP (7.5 kW) heat
maintain chamber air temperature at 180 or 210°F (82 or 99°C).
Vented system. Chamber vapors are exhausted to the building
exhaust system through a 3.0" (76 mm) OD vent connection
located on top of the chamber.
Airtight doors and HEPA filter. Unit is equipped with airtight
doors. All chamber incoming air passes through a HEPA filter
during the Drying phase to prevent any contamination of the
load.
Control panel, mounted at eye level to the right of the chamber,
allows easy monitoring of all cycle phases.
The control system includes nine pre-programmed,
adjustable cycles (Fast Instruments, Fast Utensils, Gentle,
Instruments, Glassware, Utensils, Plastic Goods, Anesthesia/
Respiratory Goods, and Rigid MIS) and one custom
programmable cycle. Once the cycle is started, programmed
cycle values are locked in and cannot be changed until the
cycle is completed. Access to the load is restricted (via an
access code) until the cycle is successful.
Decontamination (Descaling) cycle is provided for weekly
cleaning of the chamber, piping and accessories. Descaling
cycle is factory programmed and cannot be modified by the
operator.
Priming cycle is provided for automatic priming of the
chemical pump(s) on initial start-up of the equipment, or as
needed.
Optimized sump design and optimized water consumption
control the quantity of water injected according to the pump
speed. The quantity of water necessary at low speed is less
than at high speed.
Top utility connections facilitate installation, all utilities
(including vent, steam, electric and water) are connected on
the top of the washer. Top water injection gives a secure air
gap of 31-1/2" (800 mm). Backflow preventers are not required
for hot and pure water.
Piping, valves, electrical components and wiring are easily
accessible through access panels. Ports are provided on the
cold, hot and pure water lines so gauges can be installed to
monitor utilities.

CYCLE DESCRIPTION
ADVISORY NOTE: STERIS does not intend, recommend nor
represent in any way that this Reliance Synergy Washer/Disin
fector be used for the terminal disinfection or sterilization of any
regulated medical device. Reliance Synergy Washers/Disinfec
tors are intended only to perform an initial step in the processing
of soiled, reusable medical devices. If medical devices will be
contacting blood or compromised tissues, such devices must
be terminally processed in accordance with good hospital prac
tices before each use in human patients.
On initial daily start-up, setting the POWER-OFF/STANDBY
switch to POWER prepares the washer/disinfector for cycle
operation.
Once treatment cycle is selected, the washer/disinfector
automatically processes the load through the following
standard phases (additional phases are included in certain
treatment cycles depending on unit configuration):
• Pre-Wash. Cold water enters the sump from the building
supply. Once the sump fills, pre-wash water is recirculated
and sprayed over the load for two minutes (factory-setting).
On completion of the phase, water is sent to the drain.
Recirculation time is adjustable from 15 seconds to
15 minutes.
• Pulsed Enzyme. Hot tap water enters sump from the build-
ing supply, where a selected amount of enzyme detergent
is added automatically. The load is sprayed with enzyme
solution for 4.0 seconds, then allowed to soak on instruments
for 26 seconds. Spray/soak pattern is repeated for the
selected time interval (4.0 to 15 minutes). On completion of
the phase, the solution is sent to drain, and the load is rinsed
with hot water.
• Wash. Hot tap water enters the sump from the building
supply, where a selected amount of detergent is added
automatically. Detergent solution is heated and maintained
at a temperature ranging from 140 to 180°F (60 to 82°C);
factory setting is 150°F (65°C). Once set temperature is
reached, solution is recirculated and sprayed over the load
for the selected time interval (2.0 to 15 minutes). On com-
pletion of the phase, the solution is sent to the drain.
• Neutralizer. Hot tap water enters the sump from the building
supply, where a selected amount of neutralizing detergent
is added automatically. Detergent solution is heated and
maintained at a temperature ranging from 140 to 180°F (60
to 82°C); factory setting is 150°F (65°C). Once set temper-
ature is reached, the solution is recirculated and sprayed
over the load for the selected time interval (2.0 to 15 minutes).
On completion of the phase, the solution is sent to the drain.
• Rinse. Hot tap water enters the sump from the building
supply. Water may be heated and maintained at a temper-
ature ranging from 110°F to 180°F (43°C to 82°C) for
15 seconds (factory-setting). Once the sump fills, rinse
water is recirculated and sprayed over the load for the
selected time interval (15 seconds to 15 minutes). On com-
pletion of the phase, water is sent to the drain.
• Thermal Rinse. Pure water, or hot tap water, enters the
sump from the building supply. Pure water rinse is recircu-
lated, heated and maintained at a temperature ranging from
180 to 203°F (82 to 95°C). Once the set temperature is
reached, rinse water is recirculated and sprayed over the
POWER-OFF/
load for the selected time interval (1.0 to 10 minutes). STANDBY

Fast Cycles for Instruments and Utensils
NOTE: This option is available as a Field Installation on units
starting with S/N 3600104000.
STERIS has created two innovative and optimized cycles: FAST
INSTRUMENTS and FAST UTENSILS, which provide shorter
time cycles at a lower operational cost.
These optimized cycles, which obtain an Intermediate-Level
Disinfection claim (6-log reduction of a mixed vegetative
organisms and 3-log reduction of Mycobacterium species), are
achieved by using specific STERIS chemicals.
Optimized Cycles using SY2000 and SY4000 Chemicals:
• FAST INSTRUMENTS (08) uses Reliance™ SY4000 chem-
icals to process reusable surgical instruments.
• FAST UTENSILS (09) uses Reliance™ SY2000 chemicals to
process utensils (bedpans, bowls, trays and basins).
Optimized Cycles using Prolystica™ Ultra Concentration
Chemicals:
Cycle optimization is achieved by the action of the two specific
chemicals. Each Ultra Concentrated product is ten times the
concentration of a traditional product. Therefore, ten times less
chemical is injected to properly process the cycles.
A flow divider is installed on each chemical injection pump to
allow the use of these Ultra Concentration chemicals.
• FAST INSTRUMENTS (08) uses Prolystica™ Ultra Concen-
trate Enzymatic Cleaner and Prolystica™ Ultra Concentrate
Neutral Detergent to process reusable surgical instruments
(flow divider required).
• FAST UTENSILS (09) uses Prolystica Ultra Concentrate
Enzymatic Cleaner and Prolystica Ultra Concentrate Neutral
Detergent to process utensils (bedpans, bowls, trays and
basins). Flow divider is required.

Drain Discharge Cool Down assures water drained at the end
of each phase, from the chamber sump to the building drain
system, does not exceed 140°F (60°C). If the water temperature
in sump is higher than 140°F (60°C), cold water is automatically
added to reduce the temperature of the water discharged into
the building drain system.
Steam Condensate Return Cool Down allows for connection
of a steam condensate return outlet to the drain when a steam
condensate return line is not available in the building. Cold
water is also injected in the drain piping when condensate
return water temperature is too high. Condensate return cool
down will keep the temperature in the drain piping below 140°F
(60°C).
Bottom Utility Connections permit easy installation of utilities
(if supplied) from the floor.
Remote Control Extensions allow the control to be relocated
up to 50' (15 m) away from the washer, and is available on the
load or unload side.

installing and securing of washer to the building floor. Unit is
designed to comply with Seismic Zone 3 and 4 requirements.
INSTALLATION
The washer/disinfector is designed as a fully enclosed cabinet
for freestanding or recessed installation. Clearance between the
top of the unit and the ceiling must be at least 14" (356 mm).
If the system is recessed through one or two barrier walls,
stainless-steel barrier flanges are included to provide a finished
wall appearance.
Once installed, the system is designed to allow for easy access
for maintenance purposes.
Printer control console is located on the right-hand side when
facing the load end. Controls can be interchanged to suit
specific requirements if ordered as an accessory. If
independent monitoring option is present, option must be
installed outside the washer.
All configuration modifications are available upon request.
